Reason for Rage

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" (Psalm 2:1). "The Lord trieth the hearts" (Proverbs 17:3). "His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings" (Job 34:21). "Jesus knew their thoughts" (Matthew 12:25).

Why indeed do nations rage
Against all common sense?
There is none wise, there is no sage,
To speak in their defense.

For God knows why they are not wise
In their imagination:
They blind themselves when they despise
The truth of His salvation.

And Jesus knew the thoughts of men,
That they were truly vain.
He proved Himself time and again;
He could not be more plain.

And yet He was rejected still
By stubbornness and treason.
For when you rage against God's will,
Your heart abandons reason.
